CANE TO-DAY.


The Hayerhills play here again to-day.
Yingling and Koons will be the battery for
Hayerhill and Quinn and Duffey for Port
land. 1t was hoped that the Portland would
be allowed a chance at the pony battery,
Madden and Ryan, but the Haverhill man.
agement have decided that they are not
heavy enough for the team and have released
them. Yingling has been doing fine work of
late and good game may be expected.
PoRTLANDs, 16; HAvERHILLs, 1.
The Portlands treated the Haverhills to
dose Of their own medicine yesterday, de-
feating them by score nearly the same as
the one by which they were defeated in the
first one lost to Haverhill. Lally who has
been such terror to them for the past three
games was batted freely andthe champions
earned eleven runs off his delivery. He was
also wild and but for Mahoney's fine catch
ing would have been credited with more
errors. 10 ysas- rof etitiola of thv style with
which the Portlands started out the season,
and it is hoped that they will keep it up un-
til they are once more far enough ahead to
be safe. Small pitched a fine game and al
lowed the visitors only four singles and gave
but one man his base on balls. He was fine
ly supported by Thayer whose bad finger
did not seem to trouble him in the least.
The Portlands did some more poor base run
ing but played an excellent fielding game,
The visitors did some tall muffling and
throwing at times but they had hard batting
to face.
The Portlands commenced their run get
ting in the first inning. Lally gave Andrus
and Thayer their bases on balls and steal
and muff advanced them to second and third.
Schoeneck brought them In with short fly
to right field BY heavy batting, together
with numerous errors by the Hayerhills
they succeeded in scoring IA more before the
game finished. They pounded Lally's pitch
ing right and left, putting their hits in at the
| right times and in the right places. The
| Haverhills scored their only run in the 4th.
| Garvin hit to Spence, who fumbled the ball
| and moment later in trying to put him out
| at second. Thayer threw wild, allowing him
| to take third Potter hit to left field and
| brought him in. In the Sd they got men 0u
| second and third but Walsh hit long high
| fly to DAWN and was the third one out After
the run was scored only one Of the visitors
| reached second base and outside of the hits,
| the ball went outside of the diamond but
four times during the game.
The batting Of the Portlands was the
| feature of the game Thayer got home run
over the left field fence, the ball going over
| away down towards the corner. Schoeneck
made four safe hits. every one of them being
| short flies which none Of the fielders could
get at. Andrus, Dickerson and Lufberry
were also very successful in finding the ball.
Andrus and Schoeneck did some good base
one hand stop of Lufberry's high throw. In
fact he played an unusually fine game an6
| will not drop into the Maine State League al
present. Lufberry made some fine stops and
throws and Hatield's stop and pick up of {
| hot one from Mahoney's bat was well done
| For the visitors, Polhemus, the slowest bass
runner on the team, surprised himself by
